An unstable home can lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, acting out, and a host of others symptoms that you may already be seeing in your child’s behavior. Even if you fight with your spouse behind closed doors, your children will no doubt experience anxiety.
Children have special antennas for detecting marriage problems.
They will know if you and your spouse are disconnected even if you try to hide it.
